A little birdie told me that Lidy from The French Garden House is having a wonderful giveaway. So, please stop by and enter.
I am obsessed with book stacks lately.
The other day my friend Joyce from Nanas Little Hobby and I went for a drive to visit Bowerbird & Friends.
I bought another book stack, I love it when they leave bits of the original bindings. Here's one that is a smaller stack with lots and lots of gold leafing.
We went to this amazing place and bought some pretty ribbon. OMG I found mossy trim and lovely silk flowers, and well does this look like Happily ever after or what?
Here's one that I created using lovely French script trim from Homestead Treasures on etsy.
Thank you for your words of encouragement on my last post. It's nice to know that I am not alone. I went sailing into my imagination and I found my creative muse waiting for me.
Remember the pillow I made the other day from my Paris Pillow fabric?
Well, I just got a new fabric delivered yesterday. This one is called French Letter, Fancy Dress. I designed a fancy dress and used the Graphics Fairy's French script as the background. I am getting ready to make another pillow to match.
Phew, all this creating, linking and writing has made me want a cup of tea.
Today is Pink Saturday, and Bev from How Sweet The Sound is hosting this very pink day.
Wishing you a magical day. The name of this song for this post is Sailing by Christopher Cross...remember this one?"If the wind is right you can sail away and find serenity...it's not far to never never land."

Oh, I have to have stacks of books with pretty ribbon gracing my tables or shelves! With a sprig of lavender, a key or a crown on top, stacks of books are a must. You do it so well dearest. Love to you, Anita
Oh my gosh! Those book stacks and ribbons are super gorgeous! And your new fabric is breathtaking! Wow! Did you do those photos on photoshop using your new info? I would love to learn how to do that. I must tell you that I am a book-a-holic and I'm afraid you have now introduced me to another book-thing that I am just going to have to try! You are so talented! I just loved looking at your post - made my heart smile.
Blessings,

I re-did my Wed. post for a Pink Sat. post and highlighted your blog. I borrowed one of your photos - and hopefully gave you credit and linked to your blog correctly. I hope that is ok! If not, let me know and I will re-do it. I just wanted to let people know how awesome your blog is!

Hello Karen, as you can see, I too am still making my pinkie rounds. I hate to miss a post, there are so many wonderful blogs out there.
Happy Pink Saturday my friend. Your post is just like magic, so many textures, so many colors, it's all so beautiful.
I love the books and how you have decorated them along with the ribbon.
Have a wonderful week, and thank you for the kind comments on my post, Char
Happy Pink Saturday, sweet friend.
I adore all of your fabric designs, and I love your book stacks. Thank you for sharing the lovely print you e-mailed.
And, the music makes me close my eyes and dream of "Sailing".
